Are you looking to keep your artificial grass lawn looking lush and vibrant year-round? Maintaining your artificial turf doesn't have to be a hassle. With just a few simple steps, you can ensure that your lawn remains pristine and inviting for years to come. Here are six easy steps to help you maintain your artificial grass lawn effortlessly:

 

Keep it clean by hosing it down regularly to wash off any dirt, dust, and pollen

Rainfall will reduce the need for this during the wetter months but the drier season will require regular maintenance and particularly if the lawn is heavily used for sports activities to eliminate sweat build up.

Remove leaves and garden debris

Whilst they will not harm your artificial lawn, they may encourage weed growth so sweeping it regularly to keep it clean from debris will help prevent any unsightly growth. You can use a leaf blower or a hoover or even a suitable brush that will not damage you lawn.

Brush your artificial lawn

This will prevent matting and ensure the fibres remain in an upright position for longer. Use a stiff broom with synthetic bristles to brush the grass in the opposite direction of the fibres to give them a lift.

Prevent weed and other growth

Using a sand fill that helps prevent weed growth when installing your artificial grass and ensuring your lawn has been installed correctly will prevent weeds coming through. If weeds appear at the edges or on your lawn, simply remove them by hand. To remove moss, use a specialist artificial grass rake, power brush or garden vacuum and prevent further growth by using a water based weed killer.

Remove stains and treat spills quickly

Blot spills with a kitchen towel, a clean cloth or a dry absorbent that can be vacuumed. Remove a dry or hardened stain with a plastic spatula or knife and treat the affected area with regular household detergent such as washing up liquid, and a clean cloth. Oil-based stains, such as sun cream, cooking oil or even chewing gum, will need to be treated with a small amount of white spirit applied using clean a cloth, after which you should wipe the affected area. White spirit should be used sparingly and with caution.

Rotate heavy garden furniture and accessories

Heavy object will weigh the fibres of your artificial grass down and give it a flattened look if removed from that area. Moving furniture and other heavy objects such as football nets around your space will prevent particular areas looking more flat than others keep your lawn looking wholesome overall.

 

By following these six easy steps, you can ensure that your artificial grass lawn remains beautiful and enjoyable for years to come, with minimal effort on your part. With proper maintenance, your synthetic turf will continue to be a lush and inviting space for relaxation and recreation, no matter the season.
